韓国人日本語学習者による「それ」の使用実態 －C-JASコーパスを中心に－

Abstract

This study investigated how Korean learners of Japanese actually use Japanese demonstratives, with a focus on 'それ'. Based on spoken data from Korean learners, the analysis summarized the following results: First, we found that "それ" is used from the beginner stage, and its frequency increases as the duration of Japanese learning increases. Second, the usage frequency of "それ+で" was the highest, suggesting it is often used as a conjunction rather than strictly as a demonstrative; however, further research is needed to determine whether learners perceive and use it as a demonstrative. Third, an analysis of the C-JAS corpus revealed that learners frequently use 'それ' without a following particle. This result may reflect spoken language transcription and warrant comparison with written data. Additionally, it is necessary to organize information regarding nouns and verbs used in conjunction with 'それ'. We expect these findings to enhance teaching methods for Japanese demonstratives in Korean Japanese education and stimulate further research on demonstrative acquisition.
